Please run this command:

curl -k "http://<chromecast_ip>:8008/setup/eureka_info?params=device_info,name" | python3 -m json.tool

If this returns the device info, you should raise this issue with the pychromecast folks. If the command errs, then it's probably a problem with your device and/or setup.

Hmmm it does return this

For anyone trying to figure out similar errors, some devices time out on port 8008 and you need to also try this command to confirm that your setup is correct:

curl -k "https://<chromecast_ip>:8443/setup/eureka_info?params=device_info,name" | python3 -m json.tool
